Roccolo Grassi, Valpolicella Superiore 2016

“The oak-aged Roccolo Grassi 2016 Valpolicella Superiore is a sharp and tight red wine with candied aromas of cherry and plum. The wine is dark and rich at its core with big fruit weight that wraps over the palate. Mild tannins and balanced acidity give the wine immediate drinking appeal. There is some dusty spice on the close.”-91WA, 2023-2028

Roccolo Grassi Valpolicella Superiore is made from a combination of fresh grapes and slightly dried grapes in equal percentage. The slight dehydration of the grapes lasts approximately 20 days in order to alter the skin/pulp ratio. This is followed by a 20-month aging in wood before bottling.
